Things have been busy for the past year… and as such, this page hasn’t been updated for quite some time.

So, I have trashed half of the pages contents….. AND… COMING SOON will be all new information.

SICK is currently playing festivals and BLACK EVE has North American DVD distribution.
There are a couple new features in the works and quite a few new awards in the past year, including a BEST DIRECTOR award for me for SICK.

So by the end of 2013… this page will have all new content.

SICK is finished. Every last bloody shot is colored and every last scream is mixed!

SICK makes it’s world premiere Nov. 30th at the Projection Booth in Toronto as part of The Blood In The Snow Festival, showcasing some of the best Canadian Horror Films.

Sorry for radio silence. SICK is full swing in post. (with a month left before it is ready to infect the world.)

In BLACK EVE news, Black Eve and Director Ryan M. Andrews is going to L.A. for the first time, to screen this week (Wednesday August 22nd) at the Action On Film International Film Festival. The film is also up for an award. Best Villain. That’s right. The Man, played by Neil Green is in direct competition with such greats as Tom Sizemore (Natural Born Killers, Saving Private Ryan) and MMA killing machine Bas Rutten.

Black Eve took home the best foreign feature and The Devil Walks Among You took home the best foreign short/micro.

2012 is off to an amazing start. Later this week, the new issue of Fangoria magazine comes out and after reading Fango for nearly 20 years, I am actually written up in it. The new film SICK is covered in the Monster Invasion. Meanwhile Friday the 13th saw an amazing screening of both The Devil Walks Among You and Black Eve

It was a packed screening despite the horrible Canadian weather on Jan. 13th 2012

Also, this month we are going to be in print in the #310 issue of Fangoria!!!!

Dec. 9th 2011: Day Of The Deb!

Many years ago, back when I was a teenager, I watched any horror film I could get my hands on. I learned early on who Debbie Rochon was. There are many iconic names in horror, with Vincent Price probably being the biggest. Vincent Price is horror royalty. And up there with him is names like Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff and of course THE scream queen, Debbie Rochon.
And this past week, Debbie flew in to Toronto (for the first time ever) so she could be in my latest film. It was an honor and a blessing to be able to meet her, have dinner with her and discuss movies with her. And of course make a movie together. She is absolutely brilliant and such a joy to work with.

Debbie Rochon and I brainstorming.

Nov. 24th 2011: BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!!Ladies and gentlemen, after a couple weeks of shooting, my newest feature is in the can. It was an amazing experience and with the limited time I have as I enter into post production, I am trying to find time to update this site.

And not to mention, post vfx are done by Derek Grime (Fight Club, Bride Of Chucky) And Fight Choreography is done by Tommy Chang (Xmen) All this equals one thing… One Helluva great horror film. It has been my honor working with all of these people and making it happen.

Where have I been? I’ve been around. And to say busy is an understatement. But that is a good thing. The reason I am not on here updating is because of all the BIG things going on.
SICK goes to camera in 10 days!!!! Very busy with pre production with the AMAZING team that has come together for this film. It’s going to be EPIC. More to come on this soon, but I PROMISE this is going to be huge!!!!!

In the meantime, BLACK EVE had it’s first official screening in Buffalo, NY at the Buffalo International Film Festival. (A couple pics below) And has a special Devil’s Night screening in Toronto at The Toronto Underground Cinema.

June 8th 2011: the sounds of BLACK EVE.The finish line is in sight for this indie horror film made, with passion, in only six days in a closed down department store just outside of Toronto, Ontario. Just like Ryan’s 2nd feature, the award winning, A NEW DESIGN, he wanted to focus plenty on the music. As he stated recently: “Music plays a huge factor in when I write, and so when sitting in post, to me music is another character with a voice, forwarding the scenes.”
However this time around the majority of the music comes from the ongoing Halloween party in the film.
Ryan made sure to round up the best fitting music for the film. Taking from multiple genres all over Canada and the USA.
– Peter Jackson (ft. Care Failure of Die Mannequin)
-MDM
-Peter NC-Seventeen
-A Fallen Mind
-Solovox
AND MORE…..
Also, the eerie Black Eve theme music was created for the film by Rick Jackett (Finger 11/Blackie Jackett Jr.)

May 22nd 2011: Spread The SICKness.

The new Zombie film SICK, going to camera in October, now has it’s leads. From day one Ryan had Veronika London in mind for one of the roles, having worked with her before on slasher film BLACK EVE. The creative team held multiple days of auditions for remaining three principal roles and have found an amazing cast.

Veronika London ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3103457/ ) is going to be joined by:
